Tack Trunk Hardware List

Having Hubs build me a tack trunk was the easy part, for me anyway. Next I had to come up with what hardware I wanted on it. Seems like a simple task, until you realize you live in a smallish town and no one carries what you need/want. Of course that meant relying on the internet, which is fine. I'm a good internet shopper and it is part of the lifestyle that comes with living in smallish towns. However, trunk hardware isn't necessarily so easy to find, and the same part can have several different names, and they aren't necessarily related to tack trunks, hope chests, or steamer trunks. Also, cost was a concern. If money were no object, then the hardware search would have been so much easier and more fun! But then I'd probably have just ordered a trunk years ago, have my own ranch with private indoor and trainer and be living like the 1%. I'm the 99% though, so cost of hardware (and shipping) came into play.
